House Votes Unanimously To Ratify Ramsayville Man Instantly Killed Trvinfr Tn Hpln Tnisiriul linvi II THE EVENING CITIZEN, Ottawa, Saturday, October 20, 1945. Believe Tobacco Racket Smashed With Arrest of Two Men in Ottawa United Nations Security Charter mr m. -m -r Combined Parade Precedes Opening Of Victory Loan Defence Minister Douglas Abbott will open the 9th Victory Loan campaign in Ottawa Monday when he delivers an address at "Victory Island," Confederation Square, shortly after 12.30 o'clock, following a combined parade of men and women of the Navy, Army and Air Force, with captured enemy equipment. Mayor Stanley Lewis will accept a Victory Loan plaque, and pledge Ottawa's loan objective. Service personnel participating in the parade will Include one officer and 50 ratings, WRCNS; two officers and 150 ratings, Sea Cadets; RCN band.

Sea Cadets bugle band; one officer and 50 other ranks, Canadian Army; one officer and 50 other ranks, CWAC; Brass and Pipe bands of No. 9 District Depot; one officer and 50 other ranks, RCAF; one officer and 50 other ranks, RCAF (WD), and the RCAF international organization based on justice and fair dealing. VEvcryone agrees there are things in the charter which we deplore," he said, "and which we hope will not remain there for all time." Better Understanding. The solemn undertakings given by the signing nations, however, would make for better understanding and better living conditions throughout the world if those who spoke and acted for the nations listened to the real voices of the populations of the nations. Answering a question from Mr.

Graydon the minister said he doubted if the military agreements under which member states pledge forces to the security council would be ready for Parliament at the next session. That would be desirable but the organization would not likely be sufficiently advanced. Some had regretted that neutral nations were not represented at San Francisco. This, said Mr. St.

Laurent might be unfortunate, but neutrality was Incompatible with sharing responsibility for maintaining peace. A nation could not be a full member without being prepared to contribute of its human and material resources to stop those who might wish to disturb the peace of the world. Britons Had Less Canadians More During War Years While the British people tightened their belts, in terms of consumption of civilian goods, during the war Canadians and Americans enjoyed more than they did before the war. That is the effect of the conclusions reached by a three-nation study of consumption levels directed by the Combined Production and Resources Board. Dropped 15-20 Per Cent.

Their report showed that per capita purchases of civilian goods and services in Britain dropped 15 to 20 per cent from the pre-war level, but in Canada and the United States they increased 10 to 15 per cent. All three countries increased expenditures on alcohol and tobacco during the war, Britain by eight per cent. United States by 33 and Canada by 24. All cut down on motor vehicles and their operation, Britain where no gasoline was allotted for ordinary civilian use, by 95 per cent, and the other two both by 52 per cent. The general upward trend In Canada and the United States as contrasted with the downward trend in Britain was shown in such items as: Food Down 11 per cent in Britain; up eight per cent in the U.S.

and six per cent in Canada. Clothing Down 34 per cent in Britain; up 23 per cent in the U.S. Tourigny and Latendresse were arrested by Constables A. Robichaud and O. Regimbald of the RCMP last Tuesday 'afternoon, while allegedly peddling the cigars to a dealer in Hull.

In the automobile, which has been seized by the RCMP, it is claimed 68 boxes of "Hackett Specials" were found, and further search by the police unearthed more than 5,000 additional cigars on counters of dealers throughout the district. It is understood that the outlying sections of the city were the main targets for the cigar agents. Though police report that the cigars were distributed through a number of local stores, a search by a Citizen reporter found downtown dealers unaware of the existence of a brand known as "Hackett Specials." Cigar dealers who handled the brand reported to the police that two men visited their stores with boxes of the cigars, with the tale that it was a new brand on the market, therefore could be supplied in quantities as they were not affected by the tobacco shortage. Though many thought it strange that a new cigar should "make its appearance at this time, there was nothing in the actions of the salesmen to arouse their suspicion. Purchased Legally.

It is understood that the cigars were purchased through legal channels at an average price of $2.50 for a box of 50 cigars. With the addition of the new label the price was immediately jumped to $4.75 a box when offered to the dealer. Conspicuously displayed on each of the boxes was a prominent red price tag indicating that the price to the smoker was 11 cents for each cigar. Police say that a huge amount of labels was ordered from a printer in Verdun, Que. When questioned by the RCMP, he reported that an order of 4,000 new labels had been brass band.

The band of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police will also partioipate. Fifty of the sea cadets will carry rifles and bayonets as will personnel of the army and air force. The navy personnel will assemble at the corner of Rideau and Char lotte, and march along Rideau street to the National War Memorial. Members of the army will parade from Lansdowne Park, north on Bank to Argyle, east on Elgin to Slater, where they will be joined by members of the Canadian Women's Army Corps, and then proceed north on Elgin, passing the south side of the National War Memorial. The Depot brass and pipe bands will wheel left on to Wellington street around the east end of the island.

Pass War Memorial. From Bank and Somerset streets, the RCAF personnel parade north- on Bank to Sparks, east on Sparks to Elgin, passing on the south side of the National War Memorial. The RCMP band will march from the Supreme Court Building on Wellington street to Elgin. As Defence Minister Abbott arrives at the Victory Loan indicator a salute will be fired from Parliament Hill, and the whole parade will be gven the command "General Salute, Present Arms." During the ceremony the mass bands will play Canada," "Maple Leaf Forever," "Rule Britannia" and "God Save The King." The three weeks of the Victory have been divided honoring the navy, army and air force. The Defence Minister, in addition to opening the campaign, opens the special navy week of the loan campaign.

On complctiton of ceremonies the entire parade will move off west on Wellington, south on Elgin, west on Sparks to Bank, south on Bank to Laurier, west on Laurler to Kent, from where the three services and the RCMP band will march to their respective break-off points. The captured enemy equipment in the parade will include an 88 millimeter anti-tank gun, an 88 mili-meter ack-ack gun, a multiple pom pom and a small rocket projector. During the entire loan drive dis plays of equipment will be seen at Confederation Square. I -at- -mm jm. Crushed beneath the left rear dual wheels and differential housing of his heavy dump truck, while he was attempting to extricate an injured youth with whom he had collided a few moments previously, James Albert Adams, 41, of RR No.

2, Ramsayville, was instantly killed shortly before 5.30 o'clock yesterday evening on a gravel roud a few hundred yaraa east of the Russell road. Youth Injured. Due to the dazed and seriously Injured condition of Brian Goodman, aged 14, also of who was. found wandering about near the scene of the accident, Ontario provincial police authorities have thus far been unable to obtain an accurate version of the circumstances leading up to the fatality. Dr.

A. L. Richard, under whose care the youth is at the Ottawa General hospital, warned police officials that the youth's severe head injuries would not permit him to undergo the strain of questioning for several days. Explaining a reconstruction of the tragedy, Provincial Constable Don Nicol who, with Constable Thomas Trimble, conducted the investigation, said that Mr. Adams was apparently driving his dump truck west on the side road up a steep incline ana ccmaea witn Brian Goodman who was riding his bicycle towards him.

After knocking the youth from the bicycle, Mr. Adams passed over him and the bicycle before coming to a stop. Halting his truck on the steeply graded roadway, the driver then tried to pull the injured youth from beneath the vehicle. Constable Nicol believes, and, while doing so, it backed over his body', killing him almost Instantly. The car was still in high gear with its ignition switch turned off, the constable stated.

574 peg With the arrest by the RCMP of two men in Ottawa, and the seizure of thousands of cigars, followed by the arrest of their alleged ringleader in Montreal, police believe they have smashed a flourishing tobacco racket extending through Quebec and a large part of Ontario, in a scheme to break the price ceiling in the sale of cigars. In County Jail. Apprehended by the police while peddlinft cigars under the name of "Hackett Special Cigars." Edmond Tourlgny and Roland Latendresse. both of 847 Ottawa street, Montreal, have been booked in county jail, and remanded for trial until October 25, when police say they will face a total of six charges of violating the excise act, and WPTB regulations. The arrest of Bernard Leblanc by the RCMP in Montreal closely followed the arrests in Ottawa.

Leblanc was taken in his small restaurant in Verdun, which police claim served as headquarters for the business. Operating under the name of Jas. J. Hackett Co. of Canada, large quantities of cheap cigars were cornered, police assert, from several wholesale tobacco firms, and by the simple method of placing a yellow sticker labelled "Hackett Special Cigars' over the original trade name, the cheap cigars were sold at 11c each.

Instead of the 6-cent ceiling. In Local Stores. "Hackett Specials" first made their appearance in local tobacco stores about a month ago when it is alleged two men made a visit to the city to introduce the new brand to eager dealers, who were pleased to add to their short stocks. Suspicion quicKly followed, however, when popular brand names were said to have been noticed under the "Hackett" label. Although police say another trip to Ottawa was made in a rented car, the second visit was drawn to the attention of the RCMP, who were on the lookout for them shortly after they had arrived in the city early this week.
